the state.”
All 16 UNC campuses were invited, accord
ing to Tynes. These included much larger schools
such as UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina State,
UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Wilmington, and the
North Carolina School of the Arts.
“The quality of work from around the state was
strong, and it was impressive to see the work that
was accepted,” said Tynes. “The jurors chose the
artwork without knowing what schools the stu
dents were from.”
Professor Robert Gerhart from the department
of art at UNCG, and Professor George Lorio
from the Department of Art at Guilford College
juried the entries.
“We had some hesitancy because they chose
someone from Greensboro to judge, but we
came out fine regardless of that,” said Tynes. “In
the future, I think it wpuld be better to have
judges from out of state. It is a good idea though,
to have two judges, one for two-dimensional
work, and one for three-dimensional work.”

This is the first year the exhibition was held,
according to Tynes.
“UNCG is talking about continuing it, but if
not, as director of the University Gallery here,
I would like to host it at some point,” said
Tynes. “I hope they decide to rotate it around to
different schools to be fair. UNCG has an ad
vantage of being centrally located, but it also
makes it hard for coastal or western schools to
enter.”
Only undergraduate art students could submit
work in the competition. Tynes required his
professional practices in art class to enter this
semester.
“I encouraged them because it’s a perfect op
portunity for the students,” said Tynes. “One of
the benefits of the exhibition was that the stu
dents didn’t have to pay an entry fee. It was good
for them to inexpensively get their work in a
competition.”
The exhibition was held from Oct. 5-Nov. 2 in
the galleries. It was open for the community and
UNCG students.
In a letter to Tynes, Patricia M. Wasserboehr,
coordinator of the exhibition, said, “Thank you
again for encouraging so many of your students
to enter the exhibition.
Congratulations on having so many award win
ners.”
Other UNCA art.students with accepted work
were Arleen Armstrong, Alice Bain, Peggy
Colburn, Jennifer Costa, Nancy Herman, Patin
Howard, Megan McWhirter, Brit Small-Oie,
Tim Smith, and Min Fan Walton.

Another item of discussion at the
meeting was the air conditioning of
Carmichael and Highrise Halls,
which cost a combined $2 million.
“It’s about time they started think

The construction of a new residence
hall and 200 space parking structure
for it was also discussed. The sug
gested site of the building, Southridge
II, is located adjacent to Southridge
Hall.
The proposed cost of Southridge
II is $6,735,100 and the parking
structure is at $2,542,700.
Southridge Hall, completed in 1994,
cost approximately $4,415,000.
“Are you telling me that the new
dorm that is going to be built is
called Southridge II?” said the anony
mous student.
“Could they not come up with a
more original name? I guess stu
dents will eventually learn to call it
‘The Deuce.’ I hope that this new
dorm will house more students than
the first Southridge.”

resurfacing the outdoor track, an

"Miss A Meal" program for less for
tunate misses with many students
Monica Williams
Staff Writer
Several UNCA students are opting to go
hungry to help families who are less fortunate
by giving up a meal from their meal plan,
according to a member of one of the sponsor
ing organizations.
The “Miss A Meal” drive has been successful,
exceeding its original goals that the organizers
had hoped for.
“The goal was 300 and we currently have 314
names, but we should get more,” said fresh
man Kristin Kuhlman, a member of Alpha Phi
Omega.
According to senior Chris Jones, the vice
president of membership for Alpha Phi Omega,
the “Miss A Meal” drive has been done in the
past, and has always been suc
cessful.
This is something that I am
very excited about,” said Jones.
“I believe last year we were able
to raise around $800.”
Jones said Marriott is able to
take the money that was raised
to their food supplier and buy
bulk food for Manna.
This allows them to get a gross
amount of food, and enables
them to feed more of the hun
gry and poor.
According to Kuhlman, giv
ing food is not the only way
Alpha Phi Omega intends to
help Manna Food Bank.
“Thursday night we are going
to Manna to actually volunteer
there,” said Kuhlman. “We usu
ally clean and help pack up
stuff for different families.”
Other students said they gave
up their meals without any con
cern for charity.
“I signed up to give my meal
to Manna Food Bank because
my stomach could not^andle a
straight week of our crappy caf
eteria food,” said junior Eric Ladimer.
“I gave up my meal because I am going out of
town Thursday, and it really wouldn’t matter
to me,” said one student. “I hate to say it, but
I didn’t give my meal because I cared about
poor people or anything, I just gave it because
I won’t be here to eat it. I really didn’t care at
all.”
“I signed up to give my meal because I think
that it is a good thing to help feed a family,”
said junior Vince Krieger. “I am glad to help
support other people that are less fortunate
than myself.”
